On the run from a powerful, abusive
ex-husband, Tandi Jo Reese finds refuge in a deserted caregiver’s cottage on
Hatteras Island. The locals assume that she’s there to take care of the main
house, and they offer her friendship and support. This
novel paints a picture of how God works in the details of our lives, of how one
woman's selfless acts and prayers changed lives in a small town where she was
actually despised and mistreated. Instead of bitterness, her love for her Heavenly
Father guides her heart to loving and praying for others. Her relationship with
her Father in heaven is revealed through the letters she has written and kept in
boxes, found after her death.
The Prayer Box is an interesting story
on family ties, redemption, and of allowing oneself to be swept up into a river
of grace regardless of one's past. In the end, perhaps it's also a
testament to the fact that maybe, sometimes you really can go home again.
Lisa Wingate’s easy storytelling about
faith, the healing power of love, and how both are often found in unlikely
places. The message was excellent and although, a great ending, it took too
long to get into the heart of the story.
A well told
story of redemption and hope I would recommend this book for book clubs, or
just an easy read on a lazy weekend.
